Seasonal Prix-Fixe: A Tasting Menu Inspired by Matisse

MDR January Menu

Join us on Friday and Saturday evenings throughout January for an exceptional, four-course tasting menu inspired by the exhibition Matisse: In Search of True Painting. Moved by Matisse's passion to "push further and deeper into true painting," Chef Fred Sabo and his team will challenge their own culinary skills by crafting dishes that highlight individual ingredients prepared in three ways. Complete your meal with a flight of French wines perfectly paired with each dish.
